Have I mentioned how much I love this truck?????

Haha thanks again :D
The truck needs bags in the rear. I am reminded any time I tow anything more than a camper. This load could have used a little more tongue weight but it didn't have a scary amount of sway or anything. I also have a class 5 hitch I plan to put on. The factory hitch is so huge and only a class 3.

I bought a wide band o2 to help with the tuning, but I have a random misfire that I can't seem to diagnose. It could be the distributor gear. I've already done the case learn multiple times hoping that would fix it. I re-sealed the upper plenum with RTV instead of a gasket.. Could be EGR leaking.. I have no idea at this point. It is annoying because it is just enough to kick off the torque converter unless I run the truck in speed density.

Also, the last thing i towed..
What do you call a 1/2 ton Chevy towing a 1/2 ton Chevy?
Worthless...

Thankfully i had a one ton van for actually road duty, as this hot mess couldn't have safely left the driveway! The Z71 was too far forward on the trailer, so there was too much tongue weight on the Silverado for it to tow it safely.

Lol that truck must have a 4.3. My 03 looked identical but 4x4 4.8 5 speed and it did a great job towing even before the "go fast" parts.

Two more recent ones.

Bundle of materials for my shop. Don't know what the weight of the wood was but I could feel it.
Over 25k with the backhoe but I didn't go far with that.

Nope.. Too much going on to get them installed right now so I am biding my time waiting for a good deal on bags. I am not going to drive the truck this winter so it has list of items that will be dealt with then. I'll drive my LM7 98 Extended cab again this winter. That truck needs lovin too.. I will probably do ball joints, tie rod ends, a little crank and 255 85 16 Cooper STT. The 98 LM7 truck needs rear brakes too.. One adjuster is seized and I can't get the drum off (have only fooled around with it for a couple minutes)...but I have a complete 14bff with matching gears...so I might just swap out the SF diff to a FF instead of doing brakes. Would only be fitting. I call that truck Frank because every component is from a different year/model.
